Emergence definition

A tidal flat is a flat expanse of sediment exposed at low tide, typically muddy and unvegetated, with similar characteristics to a mudflat, as the sediment forms through the geological process of water transporting and depositing rock material over time, and the surface of the water meets the surface of the land, creating a flat and unvegetated area.
